Whoa!!!
Hey, Sleazy: is it my imagination, or is that Dominie's/Ramblas regular and frequent Ghost Runner supporter Fireman John with a huge spread in today's Daily News? Cuz if it isn't, he needs to pretend that it is, cuz it sure looks an awful lot like him.

Fireman John, per this article, engaged in great heroics:

When firefighter John Jacovina pulled her from the crumbled Sheetrock and shattered glass, he feared Duaa Al Ghaithi would not live to see her sixth birthday.

She had been burned over 60% of her body in a ferocious gas explosion that ripped through her Harlem apartment building, killing her mother.

Jacovina could barely believe his eyes on Wednesday as Duaa climbed in his lap, flashed him a big grin and gave her hero a tender and appreciative peck on the cheek.

"I always wanted to see her again - she's really cute," the 37-year-old firefighter gushed.

*****

Jacovina of Ladder 14 and Lt. Tom Keery of Ladder 26 teamed up and entered the wrecked apartment with little hope. Then they heard the cries of Duaa and Lina from beneath the rubble.

"She must have heard us, she let out a cry; then we knew exactly where she was," said Jacovina. "The Sheetrock had fallen and made kind of a teepee. We pulled it off of her, and there she was, standing up with her arms open."

Firefighter Jermaine Martin, 31, recalled Jacovina and Keery emerging from the apartment building with Duaa and Lina in their strong arms.

"I felt bad for them, they were so tiny," Martin said. "They were burned pretty bad. They definitely look good now."

Duaa's father, Rassas Al Ghaithi, embraced each of the firefighters who saved his children on their darkest day, hugging Jacovina the longest.

Tears filled the 29-year-old Yemenite immigrant's eyes, and his voice was choked with gratitude. "Oh, my God," he said. "Thank you so much. Thank you, brother."

This is totally rad. Again, I don't know if this is our Fireman John. But if it is, Dominie's Hoek has a board where you can put money up and anybody can buy a drink for anybody. Just sayin'.

And even if it isn't him, you might as well buy Fireman John a drink anyway, cuz he's hysterical.
